RFCDrum Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 The only Kenworth Brute set back axle in my area years ago was owned by Caruso Construction.

761 Brock Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 The axle settings are not the same on the two KWs. The one with the single light is a C-510, the other was called a brute in the US in the seventies. Up here in Canada was known as a C-520. The twin steers were known as C-550's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Maikshilo Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Come to think of it didn't those trucks come from balf along with the KW with series 40 DetroitsIt could be and Balf had aluminum half round dumps on theirs. I know this is an ex Tilcon truck like they had in Middletown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
